EE3 - Corrected impression of EE2


Publisher: Ashdown & Parry
Date: ca 1870
Plate number: (W & Co. No. 1642)
Title: Second Concerto
Dedication: Madame Anderson, de Londres

Corrected version of EE2, developed by Wessel's successors, the Ashdown & Perry company. In the entire Concerto, the changes encompass mainly several additions of accidentals, both necessary and cautionary. In this movement, the most important additions are a  raising a to a in bar 329, a c1 crotchet in the L.H. in bar 337 and a  lowering d3 to d3 in bar 414. Other mistakes of EE2 were also corrected, e.g. the octave sign in bars 102-103 and 337-340 was removed and the authentic version of the 3rd crotchet in the L.H. in bar 366 and 368 was restored. In addition, certain arbitrary revisions were introduced, e.g. staccato dots over the first two quavers in bar 6 were added. A tie to f1 in bars 329-330 or arpeggios in the L.H. added in bar 428 and analog. prove that analogous places were harmonised.
